Using Pandas

Pandas do have a little charting library in his toolbox. But will require matplotlib if you want to show it if you are running it from a script.

Here is the simplest example :

# We import the pandas along with the matplotlib library
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # (Optional) if you run it in Jupyter

# We create our dataframe
df = pd.DataFrame(index=["USA", "France", "Germany", "Canada", "Italy"], data={"y1" : range(1,6)})

# We plot the dataframe
df.plot(kind="pie", y="y1")

# We need to show the plot.
plt.show() # (Optional) if you run it in Jupyter

The simplest way to plot it using Pandas and Matplotlib

You can pass quite a lot of paremeters to the .plot() method.

Such as

A title as title="My amazing title"
the type of chart here kind=pie default is line
etc...

Like so :

# We import the pandas along with the matplotlib library
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # (Optional) if you run it in Jupyter

# We create our dataframe
df = pd.DataFrame(index=["USA", "France", "Germany", "Canada", "Italy"], data={"y1" : range(1,6)})

# We plot the dataframe
df.plot(kind="pie", y="y1", title="Example of pie plot")

# We need to show the plot.
plt.show() # (Optional) if you run it in Jupyter

Using all the parameters shown above
